That's a simplex derailer---see the "S" on the shifter.
French city bike. Nice fenders.Cool brakes too.

saxxon???

looks like a late saxxon build to me (late 40's) and I don't know of many manufacturers that "hard" mounted the rack, or used those brakes and shifter/derailer as a standard but saxxon so this is new to me. course it could just be that I don't know enough hehe!

sadly,after a real close inspection,this bike will be relegated to wall mount staus.the frame shows a stress point at the neck from an impact.probably ok,but i wouldn't want to be responsible if it failed.i'm considering selling it as a display piece or for parts.i'll put together a list of components tomorrow.anyone interested?
